DENVER—The expansion of Colorado’s Medicaid program is falling short of expectations.
About 50,000 residents are expected to meet the criteria for new programs, but only 10,000 will be accepted in a lottery for services.
Officials are blaming increased Medicaid costs and a disappointing return on fees for hospital services.
